There is only 1 review out there and that didn't provide 1080p H264 benches. My question is, how do you guys find it? Is it usable for 1080p videos?

Also, how far have you guys been able to overclock it? I am planning to go with a Brisbane 3600+ for now and later upgrade to Agena when available. So I'd love to know how far a 3600+ can go on this board.

Gary's other thread mentioned that it improves on 6150 by 2%, so I think it'll be a better choice over 690G for an HTPC. But Gary did mention that he thinks the Biostar 690G board is probably the best AM2 board (along with another) :confused:

Thanks for your any comments.

Edit : Changed the thread title as I think not many owners are out there :) So please share your thoughts.

Well, looks like I'll be the one of the first few here to own one :) Ordered 1 along with a 3600+ & should have those by this weekend ...

Not a good sign. The motherboard &CPU arrived today. There is no POST at all. And led_d1 is always off when I power up (d2 is ON). The manual says "VGA Error", but that's all. No trouble shooting steps, nothing nada.

Could it be a defective motherboard? All I did was connect the power cable, put a ram stick and connect a vga cable. Even with the vga cable & memory off, led_d1 never glows. Sounds like a bad start.

For those of you planning to engage both video sockets, there is something you should know. You cannot connect a DVI cable with the supplied HDMI-DVI adapter and a VGA cable together in TF7050-M2. Not enough space. You can connect an HDMI cable along with the VGA, so you may need an HDMI to DVI cable in that case instead of the supplied adapter.

Alright, last update to this monologue :) RMAd it and ordered a 690G board (Biostar TA690G) as it's a proven one and recommended by Gary (not officially). Newer ATI drivers are hopefully better ...

Sorry to hear your troubles. That biostar board is prolly gonna be better for you in the long run.
